Offer description

Overview

We work with some of the UK’s biggest companies and government departments to provide a pragmatic approach to technology, delivering bespoke software solutions and expert advice. Our clients increasingly rely on us to help them make the best use of their data. In building data platforms and pipelines, our data engineers create the foundation for diverse data & analytics solutions, including data science and AI. They build data lakes and warehouses, create processes to extract or access operational data, and transform siloed datasets into integrated data models that allow insight into business performance and problems or training of ML models.

These are hands-on, client-facing roles, with openings at senior or lead level to suit your experience. You may be leading teams, setting technical direction, advising clients or solving tough engineering challenges. You’d also be expected to spend some time on-site with clients in the London area on an ad-hoc basis.

Our data engineers combine a strong software engineering approach with solid data fundamentals and experience with modern tools. We’re technology agnostic, and we’re open minded when it comes to your existing skillset.

What are we looking for?


Responsibilities

* Apply a hands-on data engineering approach to design, build and maintain data pipelines, data lakes/warehouses, and data transformation processes.
* Collaborate with clients to understand requirements, propose practical solutions, and contribute to technical direction.
* Lead and mentor teams where appropriate and spend time on-site with clients as needed.


Qualifications

* Good experience with technologies and approaches typical in modern data engineering and reporting, including storage, data pipelines for ingestion and transformation, and querying/reporting of analytical data.
* Experience with Python, Spark, SQL, PySpark, Power BI, etc.
* Background in software engineering, including Front End technologies like JavaScript.
* Strong problem-solving ability, pragmatic mindset, and effective communication skills.
* Ability to design and build well-structured, maintainable systems.
* Collaborative approach and willingness to learn and grow.


Nice to have

* Experience with cloud services in AWS, Azure or GCP.
* Experience working in an Agile environment.
* Experience with vendor products such as Snowflake or Databricks.
* Experience with CI/CD tooling.


What You’ll Get In Return

* 25 days’ annual leave, rising to 30 days with service.
* Generous family leave policies.
* Access to an employer pension scheme, private medical services and Group Life Assurance.
* Optional benefits such as discounted gym membership and a cycle-to-work scheme.
* A performance-oriented environment with regular feedback and growth opportunities.

At Scott Logic, we value flexible remote working alongside time with colleagues and clients. Our offices feature employee-led clubs and events, plus free games, books, and refreshments. We are a B Corp and embrace diversity, aiming for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.
